The options were issued at 30.00p per ordinary share and can be exercised between the third and tenth anniversary of the 21 July 2023, subject to the option holder's continued employment. No consideration is payable in respect of the grant of these options.
Shareholders will benefit from this grant since it re-enforces the Company's policy of providing long-term share-linked and tax-effective incentives to all our employees.
